I will say it is "easy for me to say", since I do not have children. So, obviously no grand-children. This year even my parents cut me off from buying them presents. They just want us to pitch in for OnStar, which makes it almost funny. When it comes to giving money, I often feel like we should all sit in a circle and hand each other a bill -- doesn't matter if it is a $1 or a $100. But it was delightful that one friend who came to contribute to the food bank party also talked to the friend who collects for a poor family and will be giving her a big gift card. So we spread the generousity.
